Ford GT X1 Roadster

I won this one on e-bay, real cheap! I figured it would be a major strip and refit to get a decent car. It won't. The car was a very nice build/conversion by Jerry Holst. It had a builders card with it.

It is the IMC Ford GT Mark II that has been converted to the X-1 roadster. The real car won the 1969 Sebring 12 hour race. It was driven my the team of Miles & Ruby. It was later destroyed on purpose.
This will be a simple restore since the original builder did such a good job of aligning body panels and fitting the parts for the conversion. More pictures to follow.

Nice score! This'll be a kool project ;D

Well, sat down with the glue and got to work. You can see glue marks around the windows, they will disappear, the glue dries clear and I can use a sharp Xacto knife to peel off the excess.

I am still learning how to use lighting with my new camera. the paint is very nice and shiny. Now I just have to change the distances a little so I don't get all of the glare.


This was an easy restoration. Just a little glue and fitting. I am really happy to have this roadster in my collection or Ford GTs. I hope you like it!

You sure got lucky getting a rebuilder that easy to restore!! It is a sweet looking racer.
